Ingredients:

12 small corn tortillas

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

3 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon Greek Yogurt

1 (7 ounce can) diced green chiles

1 jalapeno, seeds removed (optional)

1 tablespoon oil, plus more for frying tortilas

1/2 medium onion, diced

1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese

salt and pepper

2 cups shredded chicken

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Heat tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions. Cook until they soften, about 10 minutes. Add in chicken, cumin and pepperjack cheese. Cook until the cheese has melted and the chicken is warmed through. Transfer to a plate. In the same skillet, heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Fry the tortillas, one at a time, until soft and pilable. About 30 seconds per side. Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla and roll up. Place the taquitos seam side down. Repeat with remaining ingredients until you've made 12 taquitos. Cook taquitos preheated oven 15 minutes or until crisp. While taquitos are cooking, combine green chilies, garlic, cilantro and jalapeno (if using) in a food processor and pulse a few times. Transfer to a small pan and cook over medium heat to heat through and cook the garlic a bit, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Remove taquitos from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Just before serving, stir yogurt into the cooled green chile mixture, season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over the top. Serve.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
